What to Expect
You can expect a better hospice experience with Amedisys. If you are a patient or a patient’s family member, our hospice care team is uniquely equipped to address your greatest needs – whether they are physical, emotional or spiritual. We provide this exceptional and quantifiably better service through our:
- Better Nurse-to-Patient Ratios. We give you 35% more personalized attention and hands-on nursing care than the average hospice.
- 24/7 Responsiveness. We offer you access to round-the-clock services for greater peace of mind. In fact, 96.3% of our hospice families reported that they are pleased with the after-hours services we provide.
- Care for Pain and Other Symptoms. We give you expert and customized care, in collaboration with your doctor, for a better quality of life.
- Above Average Satisfaction Ratings. We provide you the confidence of knowing that our families rate our care at or above the national average. In fact, 97.4% of our families rate our overall patient care as “excellent” or “good,” and 97.9% would recommend our hospice services to others.
- Acceptance of ALL Eligible Patients. We make the referral and admission process easy by making comprehensive end-of-life care accessible to all hospice-eligible patients who choose the benefit. As an example, those who meet the eligibility criteria can be admitted to our care regardless of whether or not a DNR (“do not resuscitate”) order has been signed.
Whatever your greatest need is today, we are committed to meeting you right where you are – wherever you call home. This means that we can provide you and your loved ones with exceptional care that is specifically designed for your individual needs.
